Her Celestial Farm on the Scrapyard Planet novel Chapter 218

Chapter 218 One Seed, One Harvest

Fimshed

If the earlier trade ratio of one pot of scallions for 50 potatoes had already left people marveling at Tycoon Boss’s generosity, then the exchange Lilith proposed struck most users as pure greed and complete delusion.

[One seed for one watermelon or cherry? Girl, are you even awake?]

[Do you have any idea how expensive natural food is? Do you know how rare watermelons are?]

[What’s a seed even worth? The very best watermelon seed on the market is only worth a few hundred stellar coins at most.]

[Let me do the math for you. Forget the cheapest watermelon–flavored synthetic nutrient solution in the empire. We’re talking about real, natural watermelon. On the open market, even average–quality fruit starts at 50 stellar coins per gram. A watermelon, even a small one, weighs at least 500 grams, right? That’s 25,000 stellar coins. And if the quality’s better and the sweetness is higher, the price multiplying several times over wouldn’t be strange at all.]

[Even common potatoes cost 100 stellar coins per 100 grams. A premium fruit like watermelon would cost tens of thousands, maybe even over a hundred thousand for a single one.]

[So a seed that costs a few dozen or maybe 100 stellar coins is supposed to be traded for a fruit worth tens of thousands or more? That’s a hundred times more outrageous than the scallion–for–potato trade.]

[Tycoon Boss isn’t stupid. There’s no way she’d agree to something this absurd.]

[This is obviously someone seeing that Tycoon Boss is easygoing and pushing their luck.]

[Everyone come look, we’ve got somebody here trying to fleece their way into a jackpot.]

The comments almost unanimously turned against Lilith, accusing her of being greedy, clueless about the market, and downright delusional.

A lot of people felt that when Elizabeth had agreed to trade potatoes for scallions, maybe it was because she urgently needed them, or because for some reason outsiders simply didn’t understand. But even generosity had limits.

And in their eyes, Lilith’s request had clearly crossed the line, or rather blasted far past the boundary of what any reasonable person would consider fair.

Back in the dorm room, Lilith scrolled through the increasingly rude comments on her screen, her face flushed red with anger.

She set the box of strawberries down on the table with a thump and complained to Daphne. “What do they know? The watermelon seeds from my family’s breeding lab have a genetic stability rate above 98%. Their

research and screening cost behind a single seed isn’t even remotely comparable to those ordinary mass- market compliant seeds. A few dozen or a hundred stellar coins? Please. How could those factory–line seeds compare to ours?”

Dankne hurried to soothe her. “Don’t be mad, don’t be mad. People online don’t know where your seeds

came from. They’re just reacting based on normal market assumptions.”

Finished

Even she had to admit Lilith’s request sounded a little intimidating. But as her friend, she chose to believe the seeds really did carry special value.

“No way! I’m going to explain it to them.” Lilith was straightforward by nature and hated being misunderstood. She puffed up in indignation and was just about to fire back in the comment section.

Right then, her device chimed with the crisp tone of a special–follow notification. It was the exclusive alert for replies from the Interstellar Tycoon account.

Lilith and Daphne both froze, then looked down at the screen in unison. Beneath the comment that had nearly been flamed into oblivion by everyone else, there now appeared a reply from Interstellar Tycoon in

person.

[Yes, dear, we can trade. One qualified seed may be exchanged for one corresponding mature fruit. This rule applies to all seeds for which an exchange agreement is reached. Please send me your contact information by private message so we can discuss delivery arrangements.]

Those few lines seemed almost magical. The raging comment section fell into a momentary stunned

stillness.

They could trade? Really trade?

One seed, any seed, as long as it was viable, could be exchanged directly for one full mature fruit of the same kind?

Even watermelon? Then that meant…

Before everyone had even fully recovered from the shock of that reply, Elizabeth apparently decided it still wasn’t clear enough. A moment later, she pinned a new highlighted and bolded update to the very top of the original post.

‘Supplementary Exchange Rule Notice

‘To encourage diversity and obtain more planting possibilities, this bounty will now accept a “seed for corresponding fruit” exchange arrangement. Specific rules are as follows:

(1) Seeds must be compliant edible crop seeds with basic viability.

(2) For each qualifying seed provided, once that variety is successfully harvested for the first time on my farm, the provider may exchange it for one or more mature fruits of that same variety.

(3) Exchange rights apply only to the first harvest season of that crop variety on the farm.
